Dike 14 Nature Preserve
The Dike 14 Nature Preserve exists on a former dredge disposal site. From 1979 to 1999, sediments dredged from the Cuyahoga River and Cleveland Harbor were deposited in Dike 14. Now closed as a disposal site, the dike has become naturalized and sustains a remarkable diversity of plants and animals.
The 88-acre nature preserve is located next to Gordon State Park-Cleveland Lakefront State Park at the north end of Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard and North Marginal Road.
